Dear Neal:
Just a few lines to let you .know
my paper is coming through fine.
The boys all seem as interested in
it as I am. They call it the “Panola
Express." Hope you received the pic-
ture I had made while on furlough.
From the costume I need not tell you
where 1 spent my furlough. I re-
ceived a card from 9gt. John C. Ray.
He says he is doing O. K. Noticed
In the paper I got today a ship nam-
ed "Pistol Packin’ Mama." but it
wasu’t our, "Pastol Packin’ Mama."
I know Lt. Unlerwood ia over here
and has made several Ops. Wish I
could meet him and Lt. West some-
times. -Thanks for the "Ole Reliable"
and here’s hoping the 4th War Loan
i« a big success.
Sincerely your friend,
BREWSTER.

letter aaid: “This has been one morn-
ing that Uncle Sam has lost money
on me. for 1 haven’t done s thing but
sit at my desk and read every line
of the three Watchmans I received
in the morning mail." He continued:
"Francis Bacon once said something
about some books and newspapers
must have been included too." Mattg-
ham wrote further: ‘T saw In the
papers where you had received a
•Tank” from Paul Hill. I never knew
him but since we’ve both been here
in England we have become acquaint-
ed by letter. He knows most of my
